Boomerang focuses on reusable shipping packaging for online retail to replace disposable packaging. The system is based on an intelligent deposit model and return logistics, which enables up to 50-fold reuse. This approach supports online stores in strengthening their sustainability efforts, saving costs and promoting the circular economy to reduce CO2 emissions.

In the coming years, Boomerang aims to be recognized as a leading brand for reusable packaging and to expand its presence to other European countries. The strong potential of the concept and the team is reflected in the broad media interest in recent months. Over 40 press and media reports, including a feature on Pro7 Galileo and a report on ZDF Plan b, illustrate the growing interest in Boomerang.
